Washington : Notwithstanding India’s dissatisfaction with the steps taken by Islamabad to punish perpetrators of Mumbai attacks, the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has said she is “impressed” by the commitment shown by Pakistan in fighting terrorism within its territory.
Earlier this year, when the Taliban had captured the Swat Valley, Clinton during a Congressional hearing had raised serious question over the commitment of both the Pakistani government and its army to launch an all out war against all the terrorist and extremist elements in the country.
“Well, I am very impressed with the commitment that the Pakistani government – both the civilian leadership and the military – have made,” Clinton told the CNN in an interview, when she was referred to her statement a few months ago that Pakistan was in danger of falling to the terrorists.
